Robert, if I take your view on the Shah literally, it means he was okay because he was a U.S. ally. He was also a very well educated man, but when it came to government, he was as authoritarian as the present government, if not more so. The Shah ran a repressive, police type state that happened to be friendlier to the U.S. than the present one. So if you think that's okay, then what it really does is punches a big hole in your argument; namely, that any government, no matter how corrupt or UNrepresentative, is still okay as long as it is pro U.S. Congratulations on your myopia!
